Baller Move: Add in 14+ team leagues

Owned in: 2% of Fleaflicker leagues

Analysis: With a GB/FB ratio of 0.32, John Lamb doesn't have a typical formula for success when pitching in Great American Ballpark. In two starts this year Lamb has a 1.80 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and a lowered K/9 of 6.3 that indicates the Doctor ordered a change in strategy. Speaking of which, Lamb had to leave his last start with a bothered thumb, but he is likely to make his next start. The good news is that Lamb has lowered his opponent's HR percentage to a solid 2.4% and is only allowing a 5.3% HR/FB percentage on the many fly balls he is offering up. Lamb has also lowered his allowed line drive percentage and increased the amount of infield fly balls that opposing batters are hitting. Lamb's opponent BA is just .216, so if he can continue to limit the pop on the numerous fly balls he is allowing, his ERA and WHIP should stay pretty consistently swell.
